Sunday evening, 18-08-24

Hi, everyone!  Have you had a good Sunday?  It's been a pleasant day here today - sunny intervals and not hot; in fact, I put a cardigan on earlier and it's still on now - I haven't needed to wear a cardigan for a few weeks now.
I saw somewhere that tomorrow was supposed to be baking hot but not round here according BBC weather.  We will see, won't we?

Anyway, today has been gentle.

I did just a bit of garden clearing and deadheading and, now I have several dahlias that are flowering nicely, I have started cutting some for inside and don't they look pretty!

I also dusted and swept in the garden room (it never needs much) and made a final decision about cushions - yes, I am - was - still dithering about that.
I have decided I am going to be seasonal with cushions.   know that means more cushions but I only need two at a time.  I already have Christmas ones and the green ones that are currently there that Mum made can do for spring.  Autumn stuff is now hitting the shops and I saw (on YouTube) that there's some really nice Autumn themed cushions out there this year so next month I will treat myself - or the garden room - and then it's all sorted until after Christmas.

Apart from Christmas, obviously, I don't do much theming in the house so that should work really nicely amd be sort of satisfying without too much hassle or disruption.

This coming week is another busy one.

Monday:  circuits, Alex over for lunch, online Groove and then a live online chat
Tuesday:  Groove and the walk to the hall and back with Chris, then a friend is over for lunch
Wednesday:  skipping circuits because I'm taking the car in for that final bit of servicing, then on to personal training, possibly online Groove in the evening (I am not sure about that yet)
Thursday:  deferring online SET class (Lindsey records it and posts it on YouTube for use later), coffee and chat with Chris and then over to a friend's for lunch and a good old natter
Friday:  Slimming World, on to the GP for my f2f medical review, Dave and Anna round for dinner in the evening (so cooking beforehand)
Saturday:  online SET and then some sort of catch-up with Beth.
And by then I am, hoping that the blankety bed won't be so blankety!

So I did the weekly downstairs housework today again.  I'm very glad that today has been pretty gentle.

It's not quite evening really but I'm going to get this posted and then make my evening meal.   Have a great evening, everyone, and take care.  xx

    1. I did, thanks. All sorted now.
      I can see why gardeners can specialise in dahlias - they are attractive. xx
